A Tribute to Kevin Malone

This is my tribute to one of my favorite characters from The Office, Kevin Malone, the bald, overweight, slow-witted, and well timed facial expressioned accountant. Brian Baumgartner’s line delivery as Kevin in every episode is just hilarious. These are my top five episodes that Kevin has appeared on the show:

5. When Kevin in the “Office Olympics” episode, indicates to Jim that he has named the paper football game he plays with Oscar "Hateball" (because Angela hates it). In this same episode he even wins his own game called "How Many M&M's Can You Put In Your Mouth?" where he just inhales a large container of M&M's.

4. When Kevin in the “E-mail Surveillance” episode is at Jim’s barbeque and he keeps calling Ryan the "Fire Guy" while the two of them are standing near the grill. The "Fire Guy" reference comes from "The Fire" episode after Ryan leaves a pita in the toaster oven starting an office fire.

3. When Kevin in “Phyllis’ Wedding” episode talks about how his band “Scrantonicity” is not playing in their first wedding, but is actually playing in their third wedding, after doing the bassist and guitarist’s weddings as well. I also found it humorous that Kevin’s band was playing only “The Police” covers when he originally was playing “Steve Miller Band” songs.

2. When Kevin in “Back from Vacation” episode takes the giant poster size picture of Michael with a nearly naked Jan in Jamaica home after the day that Michael sent the picture to packaging instead of Todd Packer. Kevin indicates that he does not have or own any “art”, which is why he is taking the poster home.

1. When Kevin in the “Benihana Christmas” episode has the debate between going to the two office Christmas parties and his major decision is that he wants to go to the party where the double fudge is served, but having to deal with Angela may not be worth it. I also enjoy in this episode where he told Michael Scott that he ought to know which of the Benihana waitresses he is claiming to be his girlfriend.

I just don't know how big of a fan I am of the office. I find things funny that the three of you don't. I think I need to remove myself from the Office fan club for obvious reasons.

Unless you three can create a portion of the blog that is called.
How one enjoys funny shows like the Office, for dummies

Maybe you don't get it because in your office, you are Michael. The rest of us work in an office where we are just drones.

I think if you like awkwardness you like the offfice, if you don't find awkwardness funny you might not.

I don't know if you guys ever check out The Office website during the week, but the usually post deleted scenes from the current weeks episode. If you go to the following site: http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/ you need to see the deleted scene with Kevin. I am really shocked that this great clip was left out of last weeks episode.
